I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 585 Controversy in the Great Western Court

When the news of He Tengjiao's defeat spread to the court of the Daxi regime, more than 30 court ministers were all shocked.

They all guessed that He Tengjiao would lose, but they didn't expect that He Tengjiao would lose so badly.

150,000 to 60,000, this is a huge numerical advantage.

Although the weapon is a little worse, it can't be beat like this.

Their own casualties were tens of thousands, and nearly 100,000 were captured. The key point was their killing figures against the Chinese army, which were also quite eye-catching.

Their spies did not get a detailed and accurate number, but it is estimated that He Tengjiao did not kill a total of 2,000 Chinese troops in this battle.

This, let 150,000 pigs rush to 60,000 people, the stampede and damage that can be caused should be more than 2,000.

"This Dahua is really too strong to be defeated."

The ministers in the court were discussing, all of them looked anxious.

No way, Dahua brought them too much pressure.

"Is it because He Tengjiao is too weak, or is Hua Jun too strong?"

Zhang Xianzhong sent out a soul torture.

In any case, it's outrageous to play like this.

"There should be a reason, He Tengjiao has also played with us, although not our opponent, but basically at the level of four or six points.

And I heard that he has built a lot of flintlock guns this year, and his strength must have increased significantly. This kind of record is still played under such circumstances. Although there are reasons for tactical mistakes, the strength of the Huajun is undeniable. "

Zhang Xianzhong's godson, Li Dingguo said.

"This is troublesome. If Dahua calls, we may be hard to resist."

Sun Kewang sighed, if He Tengjiao could perform better, they would at least have the courage to fight again.

However, when He Tengjiao, who was five to five in strength with them, suffered such a fiasco when they met Hua Jun, they immediately saw the true strength of Dahua.

This kind of strength makes them very desperate.

They couldn't think of any very effective way to resist the Chinese army.

"How about we take the initiative to ask Dahua to surrender, revoke the title of Daxi, and only ask for a king of Sichuan to continue to guard Sichuan?"

Left Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin said that he was not worried about Zhang Xianzhong being angry at all.

After all, he knew that there were a lot of people in the court who thought the same as him.

Such a powerful Dahua, confrontation is a dead end, and the man's arm is the car.

Wang Zhaolin's words really made Zhang Xianzhong very upset.

His desire for power is very heavy. In the past, when his strength was relatively weak in Wuhan, he called himself a king and established the Great Western Region. He also learned from others to set up officials, open science and select scholars, and pursue that set of formalism.

He was a little short-sighted, never thought that doing so would be bad for the world, just eager to experience the feeling of being an emperor.

After being defeated and forced to enter Sichuan, he couldn't wait to do this again.

He doesn't care about the size of his strength, in short, he wants to do things like the central court, and he wants to live the addiction of being an emperor.

In order to satisfy his addiction to being an emperor, he was never tempted by the surrender of the Qing army, and he held the determination that he would rather drag the whole of Sichuan to be buried with him than fight to the death.

He wants to be an emperor, even if it is a small emperor in a local area, but as long as he is an emperor, he is happy.

And if Dahua surrendered, it would be impossible to be emperor again.

Without this obvious title, even if he could continue to be the emperor in Sichuan and actually control Sichuan, he would not be happy.

Obsessed with formalism, he could not extricate himself.

Therefore, he did not consider Wang Zhaolin's suggestion of surrender at all.

If you can't fight, you have to fight until you die.

Anyway, if you want him to abdicate, there is no door.

Someone who knew Zhang Xianzhong immediately refuted Wang Zhaolin's suggestion and put on an appearance of being loyal to Zhang Xianzhong, which made Zhang Xianzhong very happy and made Wang Zhaolin disgusted.

With such a huge gap in front of us, can we ignore it like this?

Would rather die in battle than be a real power prince?

Wang Zhaolin couldn't understand a little.

"Following to Dahua can actually be considered. After all, Dahua is the Han court, not the Qing Dynasty. What's more, now Dahua is thriving, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Wu Changqing is even more a hero, with outstanding talents in both military and political affairs. It is also a blessing for the people to hand over the world to him to rule. "

The Prime Minister of the Right, Yan Xi, also agreed with submission. In fact, there is no better way than submission.

In the courtroom, most of the civil officials descended, while the generals did not express their opinions.

And the attitude of the civil servants is actually useless for birds.

Because this Great Western is not a normal and healthy regime at all, and all power is actually in the hands of the military, including tax collection.

Civil officials had no right to speak, and were established purely for Zhang Xianzhong to satisfy formalism. Although they often go to court, they rarely really take the opinions of the civil servants.

Therefore, no matter how excited these civil officials are, it is useless if the generals do not express their stance.

And the generals are all the direct line troops who followed Zhang Xianzhong in the past, and everything is based on Zhang Xianzhong's horse.

Whatever Zhang Xianzhong said, they would do it.

Even if some people are afraid of Dahua in their hearts and want to surrender.

But as long as Zhang Xianzhong did not speak, they would not dare to express this attitude. Otherwise, they will definitely die before Dahua arrives.

"Although Dahua is strong, there are many enemies. And their main enemies are Da Ming in the south, and Man Qing in the north. When they finish solving those places and come back to attack us, they don't know what year and month it will be. .

So, we don't need to rush to discuss this issue. Right now, it's better to increase taxes and build a strong army. Once the army is strong, it will take the initiative, and it will be up to us to decide whether to fight in the future. "

Zhang Xianzhong interrupted the debate among the ministers and directly stated his attitude, that is, not to surrender.

Seeing his attitude, Wang Zhaolin, Yan Xi and other civil servants were all speechless.

For their own selfish interests, they will start to harm the people again.

Today, the people of Sichuan have been miserable due to the taxation, and if the taxation is added, it will probably arouse the people's change.

What's more terrible is that even if some taxes are added, the army created will not be able to compete with Dahua's army.

They also often read Dahua Daily. From Dahua Daily, they clearly know that Dahua's annual steel output has reached 50,000 tons.

As for their big west, they don't have fifty tons, and the gap is so outrageous.

That's it, how to fight?

This is also the simplest and most intuitive gap.

If you take into account the gaps in various technologies, it is even more difficult to see directly.

Even if they were given 50,000 tons of steel now, they wouldn't be able to make a breech gun, or even a flintlock gun, which was worse than He Tengjiao.
